Lower Columbia College has replaced the four self-paced and the four face-to-face pre-college courses with a sequence of 15 one-credit competency modules, adopt a single standards-based textbook for the whole sequence, and create a Math Acheivement Center for student/course support patterned after the college’s successful Learning Commons.

1. What resources are most useful to students? (exit survey?) 2. How much does it cost for students to reach college-level math readiness? (More of an assessment question) 3. How long do students stay in pre-college math? How many repeated attempts required before passing? (More of an assessment question) 4. Are students overwhelmed by the pacing of the course? 5. Are students more successful in the next-in-sequence course? (More of an assessment question) 6. At what point in the sequence do students fail (topic or time)? 7. How can we get students to use the resources we make available?
